Nature's Playground

A little hard to see under my refection but there are fish in there Snowberries! I haven't seen any since we lived in Portland. Searching for Crayfish Baby F wants his turn to walk Nara ...But he isn't old enough yet. Poor guy. Wanting his big sister Blackberry snacks picked by K

When you combine Labor Day weekend with hot weather you get two thing - endless traffic and crowded beaches. So when it got hot today instead of escaping to the beach as we usually do, we decided to something a little different. We packed bathing suits and went to the Salmon River instead. The part of the river that is close to our house is rather peaceful with water shallow enough for Baby F but still deep enough in spots for my older children. There are endless amounts of trees to provide shade and, at the moment, plentiful blackberries to snack on. It really can't get much more perfect. I feel very fortunate to have such a spot nearby.  I have often imagined such a place for my children to play through the years.
